Sep 3, 20201:50Now PlayingHouse Speaker Nancy Pelosi is getting heat over a solo hair salon visit in San Francisco at a time when California businesses are limited due to concern over the coronavirus.
But Pelosi, speaking at a news event Wednesday, said she thinks the video that was released by the salon showing her there was part of a setup.
Footage aired by Fox News Channel shows Pelosi, her mask around her neck rather than on her face, walking through the establishment. A stylist follows her, wearing a mask.
The salon owner said she rents chairs to stylists, one of whom let her know in advance that Pelosi wanted a wash and a blow dry. California guidelines on salons vary by county, but San Francisco officials have not yet permitted indoor salons to open.
The owner said she considered the service “a slap in the face” to business owners who have been forced to close.
Conservatives pounced, casting Pelosi as a hypocrite.
Pelosi said the salon owner owes her an apology and not the other way around.
"As it turns out it was a setup, so I take responsibility for falling for a setup," she said.Subscribe to our YouTube channel
